Today, our heritage is visible in that we truly are a bank for each and every one and in that we still strive to contribute to a sustainable development of society and our environment. We are strongly committed to society as a whole and keen to help bring about a sustainable form of societal development.

Future growth and
profitability
Swedbank is the leading bank in
Sweden. Profitability is high and
stable and the bank is
consolidating its market shares in
important segments in both the
private and corporate sectors.
Swedbank has a small but
growing presence in Ukraine and
Russia. In the long term, a
significant share of Swedbank’s
growth will be generated in these
markets.
The Baltic economies are
experiencing strong economic
growth that is expected to remain
for many years. As the largest
bank in the region, growing with
the market ensures attractive
earnings growth.

As of 2008, Bank of Estonia changed the official sector classification details. During the process of implementing the new classification, Hansabank
switched to a different source system and reviewed the sector data in detail. This resulted in many reclassifications, particularly as regards the real
estate management sector. The current classification better illustrates Baltic Banking’s exposure to the real estate sector. Real estate management
portfolio growth prior to reclassification was EUR 145m in Q1 08.
